Description
Up to 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, or 24 fibers are enclosed in a PBT tube (2). The fibers are color coded for easy identification
The tube is filled with water blocking, thixotropic gel to prevent the ingress of water.
Dry, water swelling glass yarn (3) is laid over the tube to serve as peripheral strength members and to block the cable
from water penetration.
A corrugated steel armor tape (4) is longitudinally applied over the yarn with an overlap.
A UV resistant, halogen free, flame retardant (HFFR) (5) compound outer jacket is extruded over the armoring.
Ripcords are laid under the steel tape to facilate the jacket removal.
